Healy admitted the champions had been “outplayed” in New Chandigarh on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) as they suffered a 102-run loss, a thumping so heavy that it even surpassed the Australians’ previous record 92-run defeat to England in Birmingham 52 years ago.
It was a warning for the team with the World Cup starting in less than a fortnight in India and Sri Lanka, while also setting up a fascinating ODI series decider on Saturday in Delhi with the series locked at 1-1.
